[D2 LE] RP Thread: Welcoming Feast

[Marten Tremaine]

Ah, well, that certainly made sense. "Of course." Marten nodded. "We were all very pleased to hear about her engagement, of course." He smiled. "And my daughters were very much looking forward to seeing her again. They used to play together as children, you know."

[Shana Crane]

“She has been very fortunate, by all accounts the young man is quite the catch.” The servant reappeared with a cup and Shana passed it to Marten, “here, drink this.” The contents were warm and faintly tinted green, with a sweet aroma of honey.

[Mariessa Tremaine]

Finally, his drinking partner was snoring into his cup. Terrance set his own down and pushed away from the table. He was far from sober and would need a few moments to clear his head. He looked about the hall assessing how others were doing. Leo seemed alright. Lilly seemed her usual self.

Terrance wasn't the only one who had stepped away from the table, though unlike him, Mari was still sober. Maybe that's why her dinner-partners weren't too interested in her.

Though with so much sounds and so many people, she nearly bumped into him as she turned. "Oh... Terrance? Sorry, I didn't see you there at first..."

[Marten Tremaine]

“She has been very fortunate, by all accounts the young man is quite the catch.” The servant reappeared with a cup and Shana passed it to Marten, “here, drink this.” The contents were warm and faintly tinted green, with a sweet aroma of honey.

Marten grimaced at it, before giving Shana a faint smile. "Well... I suppose, after teaching my children about needing to face the consequences of their actions, it would be hypocritical of me to do otherwise, wouldn't it?

And so, with only one last brief hesitation, he drank down the cup in one go.

[Kylie Redwyne]

"Oh, thank you..." She sat up a little bit and looked down a it. "It may be a bit much, honestly. My sisters in law helped me a lot with the embroidery and knitting the lace, and I at least wanted to show my gratitude for their help. Yours is perfect for the occasion, though... It's just as beautiful, and I think much more elegant."

"What a wonderful way to honor them. And you're too kind, really." She pressed a hand to her gown and took a sip of the wine. "How have you been finding Grassy Vale?"

[Alicent Feyther]

"Oh, lovely... It's just as beautiful as I've heard the Reach to be. This is my first visit. I'm glad it was here."

[Shana Crane]

Marten grimaced at it, before giving Shana a faint smile. "Well... I suppose, after teaching my children about needing to face the consequences of their actions, it would be hypocritical of me to do otherwise, wouldn't it?

And so, with only one last brief hesitation, he drank down the cup in one go.

Though the wormwood was bitter, the honey was sweet, and the warm concoction wasn’t entirely unpleasant. It was also rather calming on the stomach, though whether it did anything for the excess of drink was debatable. “There, doesn’t that feel better?” Shana smiled, and her fingers brushed up against his as she took the cup and set it back on the table.

Shana Crane initiates a Standard Intrigue against Marten Tremaine.

Marten: please roll Status for initiative, and set starting Disposition.

[Kylie Redwyne]

"It is quite nice, I must agree. I was just remarking the other day that The Arbor doesn't really have anything like a forest." She took a bite of food and managed not to make a face when she tasted it. The fish might have been sitting too long. "House Feyther is by the coast, yes? Being from an island, I tend to recall the coastal families best."

[Alicent Feyther]

"Yes... We're right up to the cliff over the water, along the Ocean Road. The port and the road means there's a lot of trade that comes through... House Redwyne is too famous not to know. Some of your wine comes through our port from time to time," she replied with a smile. "The forest is nice. Have you been down to the river yet?"
